Hello guys finally I bring you another review but in this case I will do something different, I will talk about clash royale belonging to the IOS platform - Android. I usually like to talk about Consoles or PC games but I decide to talk about clash royale because I was playing a lot this Christmas.

Clash royale is a free video game that we can download in our favorite devices, it has millions of downloads worldwide which makes it incredibly one of the device videogames with the most downloads. The video game was released in 2016, developed by supercell, distributed by itself and also by google play.

Clash royale a game based on clash of clan another video game created by supercell, a company from Finland founded in June 2010, acquiring a large sum of money generated by their video games, the goal of the game is simple, they are online battles where you must shoot down towers of your rival and for this you must use a series of characters represented with cards.

To better understand the game, let's go to the review.

Clash royale is considered one of the best games for Smartphone not only for its gameplay but also for its visual effects, using its own graphics engine with a 2D result that fulfills its function satisfactorily to ensure an attractive gaming experience for the player.

We have a series of interfaces where we can open chests, challenge other players, play with your best friend on Facebook or the clan that you belong to. We also have access to their own online store where we can buy chests with real money.

Those of us who have experience with video games in this particular case Smartphone know how difficult it is to develop a videogame for this platform and one of the main reasons would be the hardware limitation, but clash royale seems to have found a balance in this limitation, since the Game graphically is very attractive without consuming high resources of both software and hardware.

It allows a fluid gaming experience thanks to its optimization being efficient and effective during the duels between players through its card decks following a strategic pattern to be followed by each player to achieve victory.

The designs of the arenas as well as their characters have their own characteristic that makes it unique and differentiates it from other videogames. The video game does not have an overload of content which makes it easy to understand and get into it quickly.

The main objective of clash royale is the online combat with the use of your deck that is made up of 8; all new players when starting the game will have the same cards.

The combat consists in fighting battles 1 vs 1 to obtain trophies and with which they can raise the arena (each level is represented by a different arena), for each combat that results in victory a chest is obtained; in which waiting a certain amount of time we can open them and get gold and new or repeated cards which can be used to improve the cards and have a better deck to win future battles.

At the start of the game you are given 4 cards from the 8 of your deck that are randomly selected, these are the ones with which we started the game and the others are rotating according to the ones we use. Each card has its cost of elixir, the elixir is recharged with time (1 elixir per seconds). During the game you have to launch the cards strategically for the destruction of any of the basic towers to get to the king's tower, each tower is worth 1 crown but if they destroy the king's tower and have not destroyed the other remaining tower the tower self-destructs and you win the game.

Each game lasts 3 minutes that pass regressively, when the time reaches 60 seconds the elixir counter multiplies x2.

Therefore the elixir is now recharged at 2 per second (x2); if they still have the same number of points when the 3 minutes are over, sudden death begins; that is, the next point wins (enemy tower destroyed). In each game you can use the chat to send messages to the enemy using emoticons to challenge the enemies (this plays a psychological role in some players).

Stages of a combat

Rewards for victory

For each victory we win between 25 and 37 trophies that we accumulate to be able to raise the level of sand. they also give us a certain amount of coins and a chest with which you can obtain the cards (the chest varies according to your rotation).

There is also the 2vs2 mode where you can choose to go with a partner of your clan or one of your Facebook friends or they choose a random partner; in this mode you do not win trophies or raise the level of sand but you can be paired with people from a smaller or bigger arena than yours.

Note that at the beginning of the battle you can see your partner's deck and allows you to have an idea of the strategy to follow.

The selection of the cards plays a very important role in the game because with them we can build our decks, the level of the cards greatly influences the game as the statistics rise exponentially the best and these are improved with repeated cards obtained in the chests and also with the gold.

The cards are divided into categories that are troops, spells and structures. Currently there are 81 cards in the game and each of them has a quality, they can be common, special, epic and legendary.

It occurred to me to design a table that explains in a very easy way to understand the quality and categories to which each card belongs, the most used of the game.

tips.png

  • Have a good control of the elixir since it is very important to exercise a good attack and a good defense and ensure victory.

  • Find an active clan because of its high rewards, in addition you can ask for cards and your clan will donate them to improve your cards faster.

  • Always keep the chests active, so you can get your cards faster.

  • When playing 2v2 and at the start of the game, quickly analyze your partner's deck to devise a strategy.

  • Play whenever you can with a friend to avoid random players who do not know about the game.

  • Always have different decks because it is good to alternate strategies. In this way you become more familiar with the game, you will know better the statistics of the cards.

  • Do not be so competitive, enjoy the game always and have a good time.

  • I recommend this deck to reach high arenas, if you do not have these cards, use similar cards.

If your graphic section has liked you and its excellent playability, I am sure that your soundtrack will also please you; As I said before, the designs of his characters are particularly unique that sets him apart from others; for that reason its soundtrack also stands out.

If you are like me that you like everything that has to do with the medieval world, clash royales adapts very well to him with his melodies of epic battles and where great kingdoms collide with each other to achieve imposing who is the strongest of all kingdoms .

Regarding your SFX; It is very well worked and adapted to your designs in general; maybe when we use some structure card it does not sound very good but in general it fulfills its function.

Here his soundtrack.

CONCLUSION.png

During the time I've been at steemit I've always done video game reviews that I played as a child, it was nice to talk about this video game belonging to the IOS platform, Android. As a computer graduate I am still surprised at how much technology has advanced, in this case the videogame industry that has no plans to stop.

Clash Royale is the perfect example of how much we have advanced in video games, you can play against other players from anywhere in the world, it guarantees hours of fun and competitiveness can be hard sometimes, I am not surprised at all the success of this game given that guarantees what it offers, and as I always say, if you have not played, do not wait any longer and give it a chance.

Last but not least I want to thank you @ilhuna for the banner that has designed me to further customize my profile. Thanks, good job :)

congratulations this post is excellent, you captured the true essence of the game, very well explained.
I feel identified with this post since I've been playing this game for 2 years and the truth is spot on, very accurate information.
Congratulations @henryn2020 !!

Thanks, if the truth is really fun and competitive game above all, what I like about it is very practical everything it represents.

My nephew plays this game, and I don't know how it engages everyone, I just don't like it haha

the game seems easy but it is not, you have to play with a lot of strategy to win.

not a fan of mobile games, but I've heard a lot of good coments on this one. Guess I should try it someday. The thing is that I am actually a console gamer: prefer to have the time to focus on the TV and nothing else. Mobile gaming tends to be more casual and quick that I like to play. Awesome post, though

Thank you @skinnzero68 I have played some only for Android but I definitely prefer the games of PC and consoles.

we belong to the same generation of gamers: hardcore gamers!
